A police car has scored a "manhole-in-one" type hit on an unfortunate scooter rider in Taiwan.

The rider, who escaped the Keystone Cops-like incident with a few minor injuries, clipped the police car as he tried to pass it at an intersection.

After hitting the police car, the rider slides off the front his scooter, skids across the intersection and disappears down an open manhole, much to the surprise of a person standing on the road near the opening.
